Far and away one of my favourite Sixth Doctor stories in any medium, straight after finishing it. We were honestly blessed to ever get Maggie Stables and Colin Baker in leading roles. Outstanding performances from them, and the guest stars, across the board.

This is a fantastic culmination of the arc started over the past few stories, and ultimately a lower stakes character piece first, political drama second, and everything else just background. And goddamn is it good character drama.

Honestly a perfect story, with a heartbreaking opening and ending scene, and potentially the best Doctor/companion dynamic of all time.
